What have you bought for bicycle today?

[Docca]

that's super helpful- thanks mate


The bike started sounding clunky. On inspection, the small wheel thing had 3 of its teeth worn down a fair bit. Not sure of OEM kit is crap- but it's been super dusty so maybe it's just where I've ridden

would something like this work?

Only if your rear mech is

SRAM rear mechs usings 12 and 14T jockey wheels.

But i don't know what rear mech you have.

Also when replacing jockey wheels make sure you get the orientation correct. Upper and lower wheels and correct mark facing away from the bike.

I bought an A-frame type rack for race meetings

"are you taking the piss, that's ridiculous" was the wifes reply when she saw the size of it... apparently 2m is insane.

Good job it's back pay month! New crank bolt for the EEwings crank after someone has slightly rounded off the original using the wrong Allen key, new crank preload adjuster as the original is 5 years old and a bit tired. Finally a Maxhit Enduro bearings BB. Not cheap but hopefully more tolerant of my treatment of bearings, also life time warranty if serviced annually which is something even I can do!

I still don't understand how you destroy so many bearings, i very very very rarely ever touch bearings on my trailbikes.

[MingtheMerciless]

The shop say it’s because I ride my bikes rather than letting them gather dust.

I think he rubs sand in them just to make it look like he rides loads!

It's his Merciless piston-like legs and the punishing trails of planet Mongo. Earth bearings just can't take it.

A “stem dock” to make doing headsets, dropping forks a bit less of a faff.

Saw them last night on instagram. I’ll be getting one

Some new lake wide for MTB shoes and some Troy Lee shorts and a top in the saddle back sale (60% off).

New helmet.

Crashed a fair few times in my Bluegrass and I much prefer that it feels like a motorbike full face rather than a thinly cushioned mtb helmet.

Plus I see more DH guys now moving to more MX based helmets

So thought I’d try. Got Dyfi in a few weeks time so thought I’d treat myself. It may not work in terms of weight etc, but let’s find out anyway

I am trying to work out what that does.
It looks like it wouldn’t be out of place in The Bulldog in Vaseline Alley !

It's so you can remove your forks and stuff without needing 5 hands. I like it, it's very clever

A 1.5 Chris King crown race for some new forks for the Curtis.

The will that be any better / different to a MTB full face

Other than cheaper maybe

[weeksy]

Simple answer is, they’re more protective and built sturdier with higher impact ratings than mtb.
They’re also more padded inside and comfortable

Hopefully

Not for the bike but some new cleat shields (crank brothers) to go with my new Lake shoes for the road bike ,all my bikes use TIME MTB pedals so I can use any pair of riding shoes I have for any bike. TIME pedal assemblies can dig in and wear out soles but the crank brothers shields do a great job of stopping that.

The issue I had when I wore my MX helmet at BPW is that the peak doesn't go high enough. MTB handlebars are lower the MX bars so your head is lower, gave me neck ache forcing my head back. You could try trimming the peak but have a look at the cost of them first

I like Airohs, on my second after the ambulance ran over the first
